that part of our lives. there's a saying in kenya nothing good comes from dunder. what worries johanna is that kids like alice sandra us still facing the same problems a bit he faced as a youngster 20 years ago. you know life is hard in the ghetto sometimes you go without food you get used to it sometimes you watch somebody get mugged they just want to feed their families therefore life here is very hard many have left football for crime we have buried a lot of them and life goes on ready. johanna's parents don't live in dan door anymore with his help they were able to

move to a wealthier safer part of nairobi. his parents were initially skeptical that football could provide a stable career when he was 13 his mother stopped him from going to norway for trials 2 years later he went and gave the money he earned to his mom. and. then when he brought me the money i realized that even football can be beneficial. his father had retired but i was still cutting people's here for money. by this time johanna had already entered the football academy of a belgian agent in kenya and aged 17 he signed his 1st contract in europe. grows. so we're never. we're never. give me.

in the decisive age bracket between 12 and 16. our main objective is never would soca in kenya. and locally if going to have a very competitive league not only your success when you go to. so these young kids what we impart to them they can be poor when they're here in kenya. andrew juma is an example of a former academy player who made it in the kenyan premier league he pushes the boys to focus on soccer and education as not all of them will become pro footballers. there's got to be made my mentality to see footballers are. when i was a kid. around a $1000.00 approximately. doesn't follow now because i can't even pay my sister school fees name was a teen name i want my mama and i can even buy it because when i was in doubt hardly

some people bought me boots so now i can do the same. it's a tough task to change the kids perspective and make them see the opportunities available in africa as most of them will always dream of making it in europe. my advice now and they specialise now because i have a lot a lot of kids who look up in the phone later. to build this talked about because if we do it there they are a big. part of those kids who make it and they're living you know and it's easier than here but the difficulty is that when they see you here they think you have what you have there and you waited.

for african players it's really really important that they get some help you know to integrate into society. they were here they cannot confront you direct especially in belgium. you to do something wrong something they don't like they want to live in africa. they don't like something they'll tell you and then you. fortunately johannah got plenty of advice from older african players helping him get used to the european in tallaght seeing. what once. i get to watch him do what's he allowed in it's a good thing to see someone doing what he wants. throughout his career johannah moeller has never lost his love for the beautiful game. but he has had to make sacrifices to stay in football in january 2021 he signed

a contract in turkey's top division. room for my new home. there's a room is in eastern anatolia 4000 kilometers away from his family in brooch. and from a professional point of view moving was a good decision. in that in new york it's more maybe it's a tactic or you know. its basis on all these. here. it's more physical more more more direct work and i think that's. more profitable. if there's a room stays in the top flight johannah will stay in turkey and his family will join him in the summer. a new chapter of his life as an african football in europe but the time to return home drills closer.
